Councilwoman Berland shares her "Guide to Wood Burning" with members of the community

Huntington, NY - In the midst of these cold winter months, it is important to remember that although our fireplaces and woodstoves keep us warm, using them improperly can result in devastating effects for one's health and the environment.  In an effort to protect the environment and to educate the public on the correct way to use wood and coal burning devices, Councilwoman Susan A. Berland sponsored legislation to limit the use of controversial outdoor wood burning drvices, which have been labeled as a public hazard by the New York State Office of the Attorney General.  Additionally, the councilwoman authored a pamphlet with helpful hints to keeping fires burning safely in the Town of Huntington.

Councilwoman Berland is proud to announce that her pamphlet, "A Guide to Wood Burning: How to Safely Use Coal and Wood Burning Devices" is now available to print on the Town of Huntington website under the "Featured Resources" heading.  This pamphlet is a convienent resource for all fireplace and woodstove owners.

Hard copies of Councilwoman Berland's "A Guide to Woodburning: How to Safely Use Coal and Wood Burning Devices" are available in the Town Hall and local fireplace retailers.  For more information on Councilwoman Berland's legislation or her pamphlet, feel free to call her at 351-3173.
